The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Given that the food within Country Market itself – the butcher, the cheese counter and the vegetables are all wonderful this could have been fabulous - However, apparently this cafe has nothing to do with country market at all. My salad (at over £7) was iceberg lettuce, 2 tasteless tomato's chopped into quarters, and about eight slices of cucumber. And the chicken was extraordinary! It had been cut into square sided wedges like chips and had clearly been cooked and then frozen. It was very cold, watery and the first couple of pieces tasted a bit like fish. Suffice it to say that I left the majority of the quite generous portion. When I ordered I was offered by the wonderful staff to have either mayonnaise or have it as coronation chicken – I suspect that was to hide the reality of the meat (if you can call it that) itself. They have no salad dressing. You can only have mayonnaise or salad cream – unless you want to put the malt vinegar they use for the chips on your salad. Olive oil does not exist and apparently they only use vegetable oil in the kitchen The redeeming feature was the coleslaw which was absolutely lovely – as were the staff. The cakes looked great and the people in there seemed quite happy with their coffee. They don't actually have a salad on the menu so I suspect they normally put the chicken in a baked potato or a sandwich but for those people who can't eat grains a salad was the only option. I was grateful that they made it for me however I think cheese might have been a safer bet! I was so stunned by how truly terrible it was that I didn't even manage to take a photograph – very remiss or you would've seen the state of the chicken! I was sorely disappointed – it was one of the worst meals I've ever eaten. I would've done better to have gone into the shop and bought an avocado, a couple of tomatoes and a piece of cheese! I know for next time!!

Cold day, door propped open. Was told to take a seat so assumed table service. After sitting for a while, I asked if I should order at the bar. Specifically asked if it was butter or margarine on the jacket potato as I have allergies to margarine. Was told both and was shown the butter which I appreciated. Specifically asked for no salad as again because of allergies. Also ordered child’s sausage and chips. After 25 minutes the kids food arrived. Sausage was burnt (was told this is how you cook Cumberland sausage). Chips were completely dry and cold. Took this back to the serving hatch. Chef apologised. Jacket potato arrived with a lump of margarine on the plate and salad. At that point I left. I can honestly say this is the worst place I have ever been served at. It’s not cheap either. Jacket 8.00 plus £2 per extra topping.

Very rude staff. Always seem unhappy to be there. Watched a woman drop a piece of bread on the floor and then serve it to a customer.

The Food (burgers) were cold and sent back. Service was slow but polite. How hard is it to cook and deliver a burger warm and fresh?

A valentine meal, waited 35 minutes for a starter, and then an hour for our mains to arrive. And we can't say the wait was worth it. The food was shocking, tough Ribeye steak. Frozen chips, lacking any colour , for the cost of the meal, you would have expected fresh homemade chips. Mushrooms dripping in fat. 🤢 The poor very young waitress taking flack from several diners, having no support from the owners or managers. They should award her for keeping professional throughout her regular apologies. On paying the bill the manager/owner didn't seem to care that the food was bad. All he seemed to care about was punching in the amount of the bill into his till, and us pinging our card. We will not be returning or recommending to friends

I thought false advertising was illegal in this country, but I must be mistaken because this butty shop advertises that ALL their sandwiches are £1, yet when you pay, you are charged between £1.50 and £2.50. The sandwich I had tasted ok. Nothing special though, and it was very small. I will not be going there a second time. Dishonest and tight-fisted tactics do not lead to loyal, repeat customers. Maybe that's why the other food premises nextto thisone had people queuing out of the door, while this place was empty except for me.

Maybe I saw this place at its worst, early on a Thursday evening when I was the only customer. It might be better at 10pm when you are with a bunch of friends and have been to several other hostelries first. The bar is large, with a vast barn behind to accomodate a large number of drinkers who never seem to be present. The barmaid was pleasant enough and served me with a pint of non-descript cold but drinkable beer. I did not eat here or see any signs of what food might be on offer. I remember this pub when it was the Prince Albert, a favourite with rugby players and usually fairly busy...but that was half a century ago. this sparse review is all I can say now.

Service was slower and the lady doing the food was so rude and unprofessional! If you’re going to have an attitude for no reason then you shouldn’t be working in hospitality! No clean cutlery tables was dirty and no napkins! Asked for water to cool my baby’s bottle and the cup was dirty! Would not recommend

The guy who served me was very pleasant and friendly so no criticism of the service. Had a tuna mayo baguette to keep me going while sightseeing. There wasn’t a lot of tuna left in the container and I was a little suspicious as to how fresh it was, but the guy assured me it was. Important to point out that this was all I ate yesterday. 12 hours later I was extremely ill with food poisoning - confirmed by a doctor. I've never been so ill in all my life and wish I'd looked at other people's reviews which mention the lack of hygiene. And, the guy who served me confirmed that because this Subway is in Stratford, the prices are higher than other outlets. My feelings at paying over the odds to be poisoned are unprintable!

Worst fish and chips ever!!!, Chips raw, mushy peas cold and inedible, fish emancipated, service poor, not many people there now I know why- avoid at all costs there are much better places to spend you hard earned money on.

Este es un típico pub old mans no para los jóvenes por la noche. Un montón de hombres que rodean el bar señoras de una típica noche de viernes. No sirven la comida está bastante limpio de gestión personal agradable bar muy bonito. Si quieres pasar una noche relajada venir aquí.

Booked a table for 6pm .. wasn’t open waited in the freezing cold for 30mins with no response. Even called the restaurant whist waiting. Not good

Visited here for lunch today to grab a quick bite on my lunch break, got food to take away. First of all the wrap was wrapped up poorly and fell apart on the way back, paper disintegrated and it leaked into my bag, not a great start. I got the hosin duck, which was very fatty and unpleasant, couldn't even eat a bite. Cost about £6 (no meal deal), felt very cheated as it went in the bin. Don't bother with this place, there are much better places to eat in Manchester.

Avoid this business!! They have recently defrauded me out of £350 for a wedding cake they never intended on making. Most of the numbers for them do not work.

We wanted a cooked breakfast but it's not possible anymore. Limited range of plastic wrapped bread products. Miserly fillings. The staff are lovely but it's a pathetic offering.
